  • the invention is based on a method according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the document DE 103 04 126 A1 discloses an electronic device for measuring a tire tread depth and a pressure loss of a vehicle tire, wherein a reference value of a traveled distance is compared with the wheel revolutions of an ABS wheel tacho sensor system and wherein due to
  • the inventive method for determining a vehicle tire tread depth according to the independent claims, over the prior art has the advantage that an immediate determination of the tire circumference is made possible in a particularly simple manner with only a single sensor. This is achieved by the sensor measuring both the tire life of the vehicle tire and the tire uptime.
  • the tire rotation period is proportional to the tire circumference, while the tire contact duration is substantially constant even with a change in the tire circumference and / or the change in the tire circumference
  • Tire uptime is less than the change in the tire life cycle, since the tire uptime depends to a first approximation mainly on vehicle weight.
  • the change in the ratio of the tire contact time to the tire cycle duration is thus a measure of the changing tire circumference.
  • the sensor is preferably disposed in a tire portion having a non-zero radius with respect to the tire axis, such that a sensor tire portion indicates a portion of a tire tread that overlaps the sensor in the radial direction of the vehicle tire.

  • the tire contact patch according to the invention comprises a surface of a
  • the measurement of the tire contact duration and the tire cycle duration takes place, for example, by measuring a force effect on the sensor, wherein the sensor tire portion is located in the tire contact patch in a first time interval, so that essentially the gravitational force acts on the sensor and in a second time interval the sensor tire portion is located outside the tire footprint so that substantially a centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the vehicle tire acts on the sensor.
  • the first time interval thus includes the tire uptime and a sum of the first and second time intervals includes the tire cycle duration.
  • the determination of the first, the second and / or the sum of the first and the second time interval is carried out by measuring time values at times in which the force action on the sensor has a comparatively large change, i. in a transition region from the gravitational force to the centrifugal force or vice versa.
  • the measurement of the tire footprint additionally enables the determination of the state of charge of the vehicle.
  • an average value over many individual determinations of the vehicle tire tread depths is formed to determine the mean vehicle tire tread depth, so that the accuracy of tire tread depth determination is increased in a particularly advantageous manner.
  • averaging over many individual determinations is provided, which are determined by different measuring methods.
  • Vehicle tire tread depth is performed in response to first correction data of a memory, the memory having characteristic curves of the vehicle tire and wherein the characteristics preferably information with respect to the dimensions, rolling properties, rolling radius changes and factory tread depths different types of tires.

  • the determination of the vehicle tire tread depth is dependent on second correction data of a
  • Tire pressure sensor is performed.
  • the tire contact patch or duration has, in addition to the dependency on the vehicle weight, a comparatively small dependence on the tire pressure, so that taking into account the tire pressure by means of a tire pressure sensor advantageously increases the accuracy of the vehicle tire tread depth determination.
  • the determination of the vehicle tire tread depth is carried out as a function of third correction data, the third correction data comprising differences between the tire life of a plurality of vehicle tires of the vehicle, which occur in particular during the steering operation.
  • the third correction data comprising differences between the tire life of a plurality of vehicle tires of the vehicle, which occur in particular during the steering operation.
  • the determination of the vehicle tire tread depth is carried out as a function of fourth correction data of a traction control system, inclination sensors and / or travel sensors so that an additional correction of the tire tread depth can be advantageously realized to increase the accuracy thereof.
  • the correction data of the inclination sensors make it possible to detect the state of charge of the vehicle, which has a comparatively great influence on the size of the tire contact patch and thus on the profile depth determination.
  • the vehicle tire tread depth is communicated to a vehicle driver, a warning signal is generated when the vehicle tire tread depth falls below a limit value and / or a maximum range of the vehicle is determined by the tire tread depth below the limit value and / or communicated to the vehicle driver.
  • the vehicle driver is particularly advantageously informed about the current tire tread depth of his vehicle, in particular visually and / or acoustically, so that the accident and breakdown risk due to tire damage and / or lack of tire tread depth is considerably reduced. Furthermore, due to the calculation of the remaining maximum range is for the driver early planning of an imminent tire change, especially before longer trips, possible.
